“The sound of the keys is a mix of soft sponge and mechanical keys. They’re neither load nor soft but feels cushioned under your fingertips.”
“The sound of the keys is a mix of soft sponge and mechanical keys. They’re neither load nor soft but feels cushioned under your fingertips.”… I loved this part, especially as a gamer the last thing you’d want is finger cramps.
In total there are 61 keys. While there are a few omitted, as previously mentioned, they’re still available for use by means of the Function key
The Redragon K530 Draconic may be slightly heavier than the conventional 60% keyboards but feels a lot more robust because of it.
With the omission of some dedicated keys, the dimensions are quite a bit narrower than your typical keyboard. It measures in at 291.7x 101.7x36mm. Most of its sized has been cut off from the removed numeric and arrow keys, as well as the bezels typically found on the top and bottom.
While it may be compact in size, it’s not the lightest I’ve ever reviewed. It weighs in at 0.8kg, so it’s not exceedingly heavy. In fact, it feels quite solid in its build. There’s no play on the keys, no bend of the plastic. It’s very robust. I like the feel of it.
Got attracted to the same by the sheer design and how compact yet so useful it is! I definitely wanna win it!
The Redragon K530 Draconic also features backlit keys. These LED lights include an array of 16.8 Million RGB colours, all of which is customisable via the Draconic software.
“Ultra minimalistic tenkeyless (TKL) design”
“High-end gaming gear without the high-end price.”
The RGB lighting provides additional aesthetics for an all-over black keyboard.
“…it comes with a customised 90-degree angle (“L”) head USB”

Apart from the difficulty with the software to customise the keys, there are aesthetic options that are much easier to use.

While it may take quite a bit of getting used to the compact size, the Redragon K530 Draconic 60% Keyboard has a lot to offer.
“In fact, it feels quite solid in its build. There’s no play on the keys, no bend of the plastic. It’s very robust. I like the feel of it. ”

‘The Redragon K530 Draconic may be slightly heavier than the conventional 60% keyboards but feels a lot more robust because of it.’
“Included in the Redragon K530 Draconic is a 2,400mAh battery capacity. This is a great addition, where you don’t have to continually swap out batteries, either to replace or charge them. The unit can be charged directly via the USB cable included. I wasn’t able to test the longevity of the battery life, having left it on for a period of nearly two weeks and only around 10% of the battery life depleted. At those estimates, the battery life can easily last 5-6 months between charges.”
‘The RGB lighting provides additional aesthetics for an all-over black keyboard.’
You’ll be fairly confident that the keyboard won’t be moving around on the desk or table when in use
